Last week in The Children’s House was very busy, between celebrating St Brigid’s Day, learning about the Azoic Era, making volcanoes and exploding lava to go with them – but it looks like this week might be even busier!!

We have a lot of activities planned for this week, between learning about and celebrating the Chinese New Year (Year of the Monkey), making pancakes on Tuesday, and also celebrating Valentine’s Day – we will discuss how it’s always important to tell the people you love how you feel about them, and the importance of expressing emotions.

AM classes: Chinese Dragon (to tune of Frere Jacques)

Chinese dragon, Chinese dragon,
Breathing fire, breathing fire.
Happy, happy new year,
Happy, happy new year,
Gung hay fat choy,
Gung hay fat choy!

PM classes: Five Little  Monkeys

Five little monkeys jumping on the bed –
One fell off and bumped his head.
Mama rang the doctor and the doctor said:
No more monkeys jumping on the bed!
